In the Northeast, there is nothing that a barbecue cannot solve.
Xuuluo and I were sitting face to face in a barbecue restaurant. I was holding two skewers of big kidneys and showing off, but she didn't eat either, so she just sat there and stared at me.
At first I ignored her and ate all the bunches of kidneys and roasted silkworm chrysalises in front of me.
But after eating, when I wiped my mouth with a piece of paper, I found that Xu Nuo was still looking at me, and his piercing eyes gave me goosebumps.
I threw the paper on the table and said, "Can you stop looking at me? Take two bites and leave as soon as you finish."
"I'm not hungry."
She put her elbows on the table and held her cheeks in her hands: "I'm full just by watching you eat."
"You mean you can't eat when you see me?"
"Can you chat?"
Xu Nuo's ladylike energy lasted less than half an hour before she couldn't stand it anymore: "You really don't know anything about romance. I don't even know how you found a girlfriend before."
I pulled out a toothpick from the side of the table and told Xu Nuo while picking my teeth: "What don't you know? The fish is looking for the fish and the shrimp, and the turtle will definitely find the tortoise. Why don't you, a tortoise like you, just follow me?"
Does this mung bean match your eyes?"
"Hey, I really can't stand you anymore."
Xu Nuo picked up the drink next to him and poured himself a glass: "Let me ask you, what did you mean by what you just said to me?"
I told her it didn't mean anything, and I sighed for a moment.
Then Xunuo Jiliguala asked a lot of questions: "Why do you feel emotional? What is the purpose of emotion? What are you metaphorizing? What are you implying? Who instigated you to do this?"
I looked at her like she was looking at an idiot: "You're crazy, you look like you're interrogating prisoners at the police station."
"Then you suddenly said those words to me. There must be a reason and an explanation, right?"
Xu Nuo suddenly stood up and sat next to me, and his tone suddenly softened: "Gu Yan, are you moved? Do you want to fall in love with me? Tell the truth, don't be shy, I won't laugh at you."
"Damn it, you must be crazy."
I moved my body in the opposite direction to her: "Don't let your inner drama play here. I just want to express my feelings casually. You said you have been devoted to me wholeheartedly for more than a year. I am not a stone. If you say you are not moved, then
It's fake.
But that’s just touching. You know what’s going on with me? Our country’s laws don’t allow polygamy.
So what I said is that I understand what you are thinking. Although nothing will happen between us, I can try my best to spend time with you during this period, which can also make up for your regrets.
But you still have to return to a normal life in the end. If you really meet someone who is better in all aspects, you might as well consider him. After all, there are many good men in the world, don’t you think so?"
After saying these words, Xu Nuo became silent.
I watched as her gaze dimmed little by little, her head slowly lowered, and she stared at the drink cup in front of me.
I didn't say anything, I took the already cold skewers in front of me and cleaned them one bite at a time.
After all, we were eating together and I didn’t order too much. The twenty-odd skewers in front of me were cleaned up in less than ten minutes.
It wasn't until I threw down the last drill and picked up the drink in front of Xu Nuo that she spoke: "Actually, Gu Yan, I always feel like it's like a dream to meet you now."
I picked up the drink in the cup and poured it into my mouth, and asked Xu Nuo: "Where did you start talking about this?"
"I don't know, I just feel that the things that happened to you are particularly magical, and each of those experiences is more and more outrageous. It's so outrageous that I still feel that you don't really exist, as if you will disappear at any time, which makes me feel particularly insecure.
feel."
Xu Nuo picked up the drink bottle and gave me a refill: "Actually, ever since you taught me how to practice cultivation that day, I have completely given up on having you, because I know you are not an ordinary person like me.
Can be caught.
The reason why I was so excited just now is because your words gave me hope again, but maybe as you said, I had too much inner drama and misinterpreted your meaning."
I'm a little unsure about the meaning behind the promise.
So I said nothing and nodded twice while holding the drink cup.
"Actually, what I want is like now. You call me to come with you when you eat. Let's go shopping together when you have nothing to do. When you go home, I can watch TV and play games with you. That's enough.
.
So I’ll do what you want. While you’re still here, I’ll keep some more memories for myself. When you suddenly disappear one day in the future, I can at least dig out these memories from time to time and treat them as mine.
It’s a comfort.”
Xu Nuo's tone was quite calm when he said these words.
But I understand that she must still be a little unwilling, so I can only try to comfort her: "Nine times out of ten, life is not what you want, and learning to let go is actually a process of growth.
You are only in your early twenties. Girls at this age will always have a crush on someone because they are curious about him. Maybe when you get older and your thoughts change, you will completely forget about me."
Xu Nuo shook his head: "You don't have to lecture me. I may not be as good as you in other aspects, but you may not know as much as I do about feelings."
"Ah, yes, yes, you are a wise old man."
I waved my hand to the waiter at the bar: "It's best if you don't need to lecture me. As long as you don't do stupid things, it will be fine. You were not full just now, right? If you are not full, go home and have snacks later. Anyway, I am full."
"
"Are you so annoying that you can eat your fill and not care about others?"
Xu Nuo rolled his eyes at me.
Maybe it was a habit he had developed after knowing each other for so long. When the waiter brought the bill, Xu Nuo naturally took out his phone and scanned the QR code.
I didn't intend to compete with her. After all, a meal was nothing to Xu Datou. Besides, I had already taught her how to practice. Isn't it only natural for her to treat me to a meal?
After Xu Nuo paid the bill, I looked at my watch. It was okay. It was past seven o'clock. I was thinking of going home to stay with Xu Nuo for a while. After I fooled her into falling asleep, I would go find Shen Gong. After all, Yingying
Now her whereabouts are unknown, and I get upset every time I think about her. I can't distract myself from doing anything else until I figure out where she is.
But as soon as we put on our clothes, a blue-colored, blond-haired young man suddenly walked in from the door.
Ours is a small city with few foreigners, so this handsome blond guy caught everyone's attention when he walked in.
Even Xu Nuo sighed: "This man is so handsome. Gu Yan, I wish you were as handsome as him."
I said nothing.
Because I could feel the aura of this man that was different from ordinary people, and his eyes had been on us since he came in. It was obvious that he was here for me.
